After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Lakers 108-101. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
